Answer:
2.0 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given quadratic functions</u>:

To find the time, in seconds, that the balloons collided at the highest point, <u>substitute</u> one equation into the other equation and rearrange to <u>equal zero</u>:

<u>Factor</u> the quadratic:

Apply the <u>zero-product property</u> to solve for x:


Therefore, the balloons collided at 1 second and 2 seconds.
To find at which time the highest point of collision occured, substitute both values of x into one of the functions:


Therefore, the time, in seconds, that the balloons collided at the highest point is 2.0 seconds.

So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
The answer to your question is n is equal to 70
So, personally I would take 252 and divide it by 4. this will give you 63 which is 1/4 of the cookies. Then add that 63 three times to get a total of 189 cookies which would be your 3/4 sold. so since there is only 63 cookies left then you would go into your final problem. 3/9 is equal to 1/3, so all you would do is divide 63 by 3 and get a total of 21 cookies given to the pta.
